Introduction
The ADA890 is a technologically advanced, THX
reproduction. Stereo sound can operate in a 2 speaker or 4 speaker configuration (Stereo X 2). Both modes also utilize the subwoofer. The amplifier inputs operate
on analog and digital (S/PDIF)* audio signals. The system also can be used with home Gaming Systems.
The unit is comprised of a subwoofer and two satellite speakers. This combination provides surround sound on a desktop by utilizing side firing speakers. For enhanced
surround sound the top speaker portion of each satellite can be separated and placed on a provided stand with long speaker wires. This enables the separated speakers
to be placed for best surround sound performance. Equalizer circuitry automatically resets to conform to the changes that take place when the speakers are separated.
The satellite speakers are magnetically shielded and can be placed close to a monitor without disturbing images. The speaker in the subwoofer is not magnetically
shielded and should not be placed close to a monitor.
Subwoofer frequencies are non directional, therefore the subwoofer does not have to be located in any particular relationship to the satellite speakers. Placing it on the
floor close to a wall, corner of a room, or under a desk gives excellent results.
The main satellite speaker has an LCD display that shows the various conditions of operation. A master volume control is used to separately adjust bass, center,
surround, and treble settings. Once the individual functions are set, the control reverts back to becoming a master volume control. This and other features are explained
under "Using The Speaker System".
A headphone jack is available for private listening. A remote control unit is supplied that can access all the manual functions. The remote control has a mute function
that is not available when using the controls manually.
An LED POWER INDICATOR and DIAGNOSTIC AUDIO SIGNAL switch are provided for trouble shooting the system in the event a malfunction is suspected.
